I know this topic have been posted many times, but all bros/sis do get your car air-con compressor check during your warranty else you will have to pay more than $1k to get it replace.
I went for my 60k servicing and was told my air-con compressor need to be change, worried initially as my warranty just over by a week so the SA say need to check with japan see can waive or not, luckily it was waived but the SA told me it is on a case by case basic, maybe I am on NPMP.
So if you can hear a whring sound, even when air-con not on, do send in to TC for check.

You check autosaver...
think around 500 plus for original compressor and 300 plus for OEM.....

if still under NPMP, can let them change right?

only free if under warranty, NPMP doesn't mean extend your warranty, after 3 years is up to TC decision liao.

During my warranty period I complaint twice No cold
After checking they say is Fine.
Now no more warranty, Not sure any extend or not ?
-
I tink NPMP include most parts including a/c compressor unless i am wrong. For my case, i also complain a/c noise but they checked & said ok.
-
confirm NPMP doesn't cover air-con compressor coz I am also on NPMP, my charges was waived maybe coz my warranty over by around 1 week only. The SA only confirmed waived after 1 week of checking with japan side.

dang, i also complain not cold and they say ok also. what a way to push away their responsibilities!
-
If only we are like in USA. Their CVT warranty extend to 10 yrs and they even refund those who paid for the repair before the extension was announced
-
Now my aircon keep on coming Freezing sound from the blower
Not sure is z Gas leaking :smile:
-
I am in similar situation... warranty going to be over in 2 weeks... but not cold, last time 26 degrees already freezing cold but now 24 degrees only so so...
Is there any tactic to get them to really do a through check?
:confused1:

one way to prolong the life of ur compressor is to change air con filters regular.
An less choked filter is the way to let ur compressor less harder...
I may have lobangs for air con compressor and air con parts as i used to work in this field,
but u need to find ur own workshop....

SO how long should we change it?
-
SO how long should we change it?
air con filters, every 10,000km to 12,000 km
these ac filter change should not be saved...
one of the main reasons why u never or seldom heard pple change these ac filters are becos, in the market, these filters are highly priced...
Workshop and agents marked up very high, so end user, when knew of the price, felt very heart pain to change the filters.
imagine one pc of filter is about the price for a good bottle of engine oil...
If u are interested in getting the ac filters, look for me. have a look at my filters before u buy it.
if they are not good, dont buy it.
I been in this trade for 2 years already, is still surviving on these filters despite stiff competition from other sellers / traders, and i only sell air con filters only.
I got some pple who came up to me and told me, my Latio and LAncer CS3 filters, given the design and quality, are way underpriced, they said I should have marked up higher... :)

Yes there are also problems with our aircon comnpressor. Its not just merely chnging of the aircon filter.
I did not realised my aircon is not working except that I need to turn the temp to 22 to feel cold.
During one of my compaints, the tester went with me for a ride, he commented that my aircon dont sound right due to the loudness when we arer in stationery position.
I was lucky that he changed it for me after that. My warranty expires after that.
Overall, I have changed quite a bit of parts with TC. It all boils down to the SA on whether they want to entertain yr complaints.

our car got 3 yrs warranty right
-
yup, 3 years warranty, but actually TC are more willingly to change faulty parts during warranty compared to my ex-ride dealer. For my air-con compressor, actually I sent in for my 60k servicing and didn't complain about the air-con thingy, the technician are the one who highlighted the problem to the SA who then told me about it.
-
I'm thinking of sending my car in to TC again to check for faulty parts... warranty going to expire in a month's time.
My air con grill on the left will make some 'tak-tak-tak-tak-tak' rapid sound when the car comes stationary... its getting louder and louder. Wondering if thats the sign of the compressor breaking down?
-
yup, it is the sound that indicate the air-con compressor got problem as told by my SA. Go complain and see what they say. Or try different service centre see got better luck.

yup... it produced a hissing sound. mine got to change after bugging the SA at Lok Yang the 2nd time... now waiting for compressor to come in...out of stock currently. My warranty ends on 14/12/09...

Hi gunner,
Is it possible for me to listen to your car hissing sound? Mine warranty expiring on 11 Dec 09, getting a bit worried.. Standing in front of the bonnet i can hear humming or buzzing sound... but the SA says it is normal....
Thanks...

-
I am on long leave currently, maybe i can drop by to hear your sound. Lunch time?
Or where do you stay? I stay in Clementi.
I went to Bukit Timah Branch lor... now problem is i keep hearing sound when standing in front of bonnet, but the sound doesnt seems like the various forumers in here had described..

the hissing sound i mentioned will only be heard whenever i switch on the a/c compressor.. once it started, the sound is gone..
quite different from yours....
i thk itz nearer to meet up at ayer rajah since u stay in clementi
-
I also got the hissing sound leh, i thought it is the aircon releasing the aircon gas? Have been hearing this for the longest time!
If really this is an issue, then i must also bug the SA....

I have the same symptom as you. it only appear for a short period and can only hear when door was open. mine was a new car.
-
hi guys,
if it is hissing sound, then you are right that it is the air-con gas so no worries, mine air-con compressor faulty sound will be there even when I dun on the air-con, machiam like the belt need to be tighten.

Bro, U must be firmed and insist that they look into your problem as yr warranty is expiring!

luckily TCM waived my charges although my warranty over.
-
If an aircon compressor is faulty, there could be more than 1 symptom / sound. Most of us are technically not so sound in this. So if we just bring the car to TCM, most likely our request will kanna shot down. Either they hear no abnormal sound and refuse to check or they check liao and say everything is fine. We can only trust them isn't it...

Jus bring my car for Air con check again
They say is evaporator coil gas leak not compressor problem
Need to change at $900+
-
ccsSGM,

into my 70K servicing
was told my fan coil needs to replace,
i mean why would it just after the warranty period?
can we ask for some sort of answer from Tan CHong?
-
Means that Nissan parts only last 36month only
All parts can use up to that period (Lousy quality)
After that all need to change new one
Stomp them see whether their New car can sell or not ?

I think Tan Chong will not answer this kind of answer one....
I changed my window motor just months back, now spoil again, but have to wait for parts (no stock now). From here you can see the failure rate of certain parts.... very dissapointing with Nissan quality... or is it only Latio?
My steering coupling also, changed at the same time as my window motor, now spoil again, i just get it changed few days ago.
I also changed my fan motor a week ago. My warranty just expired. *shake head*
I keep going down to workshop, waste time, waste petrol (because everytime i send car to workshop, when i collect the car, the fuel needle always drop substantially but mileage run only like 10km).
Haiz!

i changed mine a/c compressor for $1.3K at TC....my car is 4.5yrs old....
i think we should all petition to TC to complain abt the lifespan of the a/c parts.....
-

-

If gas leak, very fast not cold already ::)
-
seems like this is a common thing.
same for me. 3.5 yrs old and they asked me to change fan coil. kiv compressor
total 2.3k!
i would like to start a note to Tan Chong. I think they should not sell such a short life span product.
btw i called mark cool aircon and over the phone, they quoted me 680 for fan coil.
680 for compressor
-
Anyway Tan Chong got no air con specialist in the workshop
They dun no more about air con system :bleh:
-
I think we just need someone to initiate the petition to TC.
I just changed my fan motor. Car 3 years old.
Didnt know that they do not have aircon specialist in TC.

TC usually quote double compare to outside. if you know the SE well, they may recommend some outside workshop they know of. TC quote compressor for 1.2K, outside can get 600.
TC SC not like last time, I personally think that not only air con. a lot of others area also.
My wipers judder problem, they change 2 x times wipers within a month, but still the same problem.
a small rubber with double sided tape drop off, they told me it is just an additional part. at the end, I found and ask them to fix it.
-
so maybe bros here do wanna let us know which outside workshop charge $600 for air-con compressor?

You should ask for appeal

I'm wondering too.. $600 could be a refurbish one, probably taken off from another car.

Ya, they changed it for free.
Steering coupling also. I complained, they also changed for free.
I dunno what is next....

hi all,
IF u are looking for any air con parts...
parts like cooling coil, compressor, block valve, receiver dryer, thermostat....etc...
u may like to check with me
I may be able to source for you, quote you a pricing, then u compare with the stockist or whoever u are getting from
...
just an alternative
i used to work in this trade, so where air con parts are concerned, I have my lobangs...

Just to revive an old topic a bit...
My aircon had some problems, was not cold at all.
Went to autoaid for help, the mechanic checked everything and said that everything is fine. The magical part was that he stepped on the accelerator with the car in stationary position and the aircon started working.
Anyone face such problems before??
he told me that I set the aircon temperature(26 degree celsius) too high, advised me to set it at 23 to 24 degrees Celsius.
The mechanic told me that it could be due to the aircon compressor not working at 100%. a change of aircon compressor might be good.
was quoted $580 by Autoaid for aircon compressor change including labour costs.
overall good service by Autoaid actually, they charged me nothing for the work done yesterday.
most likely will go back to them for any help on my ride.
-
if the mech at autoaid says the compressor is fine, you might want to drive around somemore, if set at 24 degrees can solve your problem, my opinion is dun waste $ changing the compressor unless it is nccessary.

hi bro, i was at autoaid yesterday, from wat i know, the compressor is new but of oem brand.
did you try markcool for recon of compressor?
-

oic....nissan using denso brand if i am not wrong......never try markcool....anyone any idea the cost of recon?
-
I am looking for a new a/c compressor.. where and which one is a better buy for quality??
TCM quote the parts and labour more then the cost of NPMP.. :out:
-
Went for servicing and TCM quote $1100+ to change compressor including part and labour, says got sound come out better change. Now 3.5yr liao, so out of warranty period, but since aircon still quite cold so I decided not to change yet, but hoping for the best.
Meanwhile, anyone has recommendation of good workshops near the south for changing of compressor (Markcool sounds a bit too far) ? Tks!
-
oic....nissan using denso brand if i am not wrong......never try markcool....anyone any idea the cost of recon?
sorry, i posted wrongly, should be autoaid compressor is not oem brand, tats why so cheap.
